Maalouf Ashford & Talbot has been named “Shipping & Maritime Law Firm of the Year” for 2012. We represent many the world’s largest ship owners and charterers, shipyards, P&I Clubs and international agencies in connection with their most complex shipping & maritime matters.
Shipping & Transport
Maalouf Ashford has one of the largest practices in this area and is considered a global leader in dry shipping and transport work. The matters we handle include charterparties, bills of lading, other carriage contracts, marine insurance, shipbuilding and construction contracts, insurance and risk management, trading (physical and financial freight).
Transactional and Regulatory Matters
Maalouf Ashford & Talbot has a leading ship finance practice, acting for ship finance banks, a wide range of owners, operators and other investors across all areas of the shipping and offshore sectors. Our work includes advising on all forms of finance including syndicated, club and bilateral debt financings as well as leasing, export credit financings, seller's credits, derivatives and other credit enhancement products, bond issues and other forms of capital raising. The group also provides other transactional services required by clients in the shipping and offshore sectors such as advice on second-hand sale and purchase, shipbuilding contracts, ship recycling, ship registration, charterparties, pooling agreements, management agreements and joint venture agreements.
With the continued pressure brought to bear by the global financial crisis, we have recently been working with a number of the world's leading ship finance banks and owners on matters in relation to, in particular, loan agreements, loan restructuring and work-outs, loan (including ship mortgage) enforcement and insolvency issues.
